They do that in most races. It makes endurance races have tighter finishes. Many times a car is out for 10 laps, and can gain all of that back and be on the same lap and compete for a win in a 12 or 24 hour race.

I agree that in a F1 race it is just stupid. It is too short of a race to ever really help the back-markers.
